Some expanded info on this, not public info:
Belts were loose, steering wheel folded up to the dash, the car hit the net hard enough to dislodge part of the windshield and enter the car
How fast was he going?
No parachute 1/8 car
Car was supposed to power off at 1/8th mile, but went past the quarter traps under power

Volunteer died in an accident setting up for the event. They do not say how.
2 EMT's were killed when cars left the road. This is why I will never attend one of these events. Leave it on the track.

Sounds more like he had a medical emergency than a mechanical failure.

Atmore Alabama.
Atmore DragStrip recently announced they will be closing the gates
The announcement stated “This decision to close wasn’t made overnight. It comes after fighting through so many challenges from rising costs to constant negativity, criticism, and bashing from people who don’t understand what it really takes to run a track like this. It’s easy for folks to point fingers or complain, but very few truly know what goes on behind the scenes the long hours, the financial strain, and the endless dedication it takes just to keep things going”
We at DragCoverage are providing the information of the closing and the reason the owners stated it was closing. We understand there is always the possibility of being more to a story, but are providing the information we have. Regardless, the sentiment stays the same, track closures are affecting our sport.

I was planning a roadtrip to Pleasanton CA for the Goodguys show and to see my son but I'm having to get our heater replaced instead.
